I Want My Music Television...Music

If you didn't already catch the "news," MTV has launched MTV Music, a site dedicated to archiving a large number of the music videos that the channel has aired. Bellyaching about the total absence of music videos from MTV has been the trite thing to do for a good 15 years now, though it seems oddly ironic that the original focus of MTV would find a new home on the internet. If you're of a certain age, you've probably spent countless hours watching these little two-and-a-half minute narratives/fashion shows/advertisements, and there's as much nostalgic value in revisiting the video for Money For Nothing as popping in a copy of Mega Man 2, if not more so.

To create even the thinnest and most tenuous of threads to video games here, I've gone ahead and embedded a few of the music videos that, along with crummy stock footage, would go on to form the basis for the Sega CD Make My Video games. Enjoy!
